Ted Lacksonen is a writer and commentator known in the blogosphere as The Country Thinker. He has previously practiced as an attorney for a major international law firm, and worked as a structural designer in the shipbuilding industry. Ted lives in the rolling hills of his home state of Ohio with his wife and son.

Ted joins us today to discuss his recently released novel The Eagle Has Crashed, which is a near-future novel that is set in 2029-30. It is the story of the day that America’s national debt leads to an economic meltdown.

The Eagle has Crashed documents the lives of several ordinary Ohioans as the nation falls apart around them. As the situation worsens it brings out the best – and worst – in Ohioans and Americans across the land.

We are aware of the issue and working on it. It should be back up soon. I am currently producing today’s show and it will be out soon. When I publish it I will put the audio files on this domain so you will be able to hear today’s show right away. If we are still down I will also move Monday and Tuesday’s show so at least the most recent shows are available, in fact I will do that right now.

I try to keep things positive but hey there is a reason we all prep right. From individual disasters, to regional SHTF events to the reality of some global threats. Today I am going to take a look at some of the big threats, what I think the probability of them are and what I feel the ramifications would be.
